I would add this: Stop all charitable contributions. The beneficiaries of our private charity probably all voted for Obama. Let Obama pick up the tab. Let him take the blame for their “charity shortfall.” Stop whatever you have been giving, and when solicited explain that you can’t spare a penny since Obama got elected.

Ok, keep giving to the Boy Scouts and the NRA. But besides those, shut it down.

I’ll second that motion.

An additional idea: the MSM loses money on its news shows, but adding the networks together, they still dominate and thus influence too many people in ways we don’t like. Most of us already don’t watch the MSM news shows, so we can’t withhold our viewership to make a point.

We CAN withhold our viewership of their regular programs, though. And they are what pay for the news shows. So if we stopped watching our favorite shows on NBC, CBS, ABC (and admit it, we DO watch some of them), that viewership would go down as well, and thus further affect the MSM’s ad revenues. We can’t starve them out, but we can surely make them go hungry.

The loss of every thousand households costs them money, as they have to reduce what they charge to advertisers.

If enough people organized to do this, it would have an impact. And it’s something we can all do right from home. The time to do it would be during Nielsen sweeps weeks,when viewership and ad costs are determined.
